cannot save inline pdf in safari

Since upgrading to Catalina, when viewing an inline PDF from a website, the PDF opens in the browser and the toolbar at the bottom middle of the browser appears when the cursor hovers over it, however +/- zoom buttons work but the 'open in preview' and 'download' buttons just flash but no longer so anything.

Is there a way to restore their functionality?

thanks

Can't open web-based PDF in preview Since updating to Catalina, Preview no longer opens up web based downloadable PDF. When you go to the bottom of the webpage while the zoom in/out, open and download icons are still present nothing happens when you try to open and/or download the PDF. When you right click on the document to "Open with Preview" still nothing happens. Preview is my default PDF application. Any help would be appreciated as it severely impacting on my work thanks

Can't download online pdf in Mojave Running Safari 12.1.1 in Mojave 10.14.5 I cannot open a pdf page into Preview nor can I download it. The pdf control button (or whatever it's called) only enlarges or shrinks the page. Does anyone know an easy workaround that doesn't involve Terminal or downloading a third party app?

Mac OS Ventura - Safari 16 - No Longer Auto Opening PDF Files Hi, we have been using Safari to open .pdf invoices and DHL labels automatically after downloading them. We would download the file using "command + click" and the .pdf would simply auto open like a pop up using "preview". It was really quick and handy. Now all of the sudden, Apple decided to remove this PDF option in settings: Ventura: Open "safe" files after downloading . "Safe" files include movies, pictures, sounds, text documents and archives Montery: Open "safe" files after downloading . "Safe" files include movies, pictures, sounds, PDFs, text documents and archives Not sure why they would remove PDFs, it was so quick and useful...? Does anybody know another way or solution to open the PDFs quickly again? Thanks

please close this, the PDF did not have a .pdf filename, once this was added the save and open in preview started working again.

Thanks
